Abstract
It is noted that a number of theories proposed recently by various authors are actually identical with the theory of polar fluids suggested by Grad in 1952. The relatively close relationship of the recently presented theory of dipolar fluids to polar fluid theory is established. The thermodynamics of polar fluids with heat conduction is sketched. The solved boundary‐value problems of polar fluid theory are summarized and the essential features of these solutions establish a pattern that gives insight into the behavior of polar fluids as well as indicating where the theory might be of practical significance.
